Martinez: Everton trip to Man Utd not about Moyes revenge

Everton boss Roberto Martinez insists their trip to Manchester United isn't about gaining revenge over David Moyes.

Martinez replaced Moyes at Goodison Park over the summer.

"I don't think that is something that I spend much time (thinking) about," said Martinez when asked about whether Moyes had tainted his relationship with fans after 11 years at the club.

"I think David Moyes did a fantastic job over the last 11 years and that is what I want to keep.

"Everything else that has happened are normal situations which would occur in football.

"From our point of view I will always look at Everton in terms of getting stronger and progressing internally and on the pitch and I think we have done that in the last five months.

"It is not our style to look elsewhere (at other clubs and managers).

"We want to assess ourselves what we do internally, not having to look elsewhere."
